Actually, considering the police chase and subsequent rollover accident was the news and the bike ride was "filler," the writer did an excellent job of including this detail. Mentioning the Ride of Silence in his hook, and reminding us that the chase occurred because the driver endangered the riders who were involved had anyone who might actually think about what they're reading/hearing wonder, "what's that all about?"

Searching the site for "Ride of Silence" shows that this TV channel did a story about the ride on the same day, perhaps during each of their earlier in the day broadcasts:
